Yoon Eun Hye first entered the entertainment industry in 1999 as a member of the K-pop girl group Baby Vox. She left the group in 2005 to pursue an acting career. Yoon performed her first major role in a drama, Goong as Shin Chae-gyung. This role propelled her to stardom. She portrayed as a tough girl named Han Su in her first movie, Escaping from Charisma. Her next drama after Goong was a comedy called The Vineyard Man. Yoon Eun Hye was the lead star of The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince portraying the lead in the drama. Criticism of her acting arose after the first episode aired, but then came to a stop, after displaying her acting talent as the drama proceeded. In light of this, different companies were eying her to endorse their products due to her increased popularity.

Education: Joong Kyung High School, Kyung Hee Cyber University (Tourism Management degree) Hobbies: Photography Specialty: Drawing In late 2007, she was involved in projects for a cause such as Wish Come True and Letters from the Angels No. 5 Campaign She was one of the ten Hallyu stars of 2007 thus she became one of the most highly paid actresses in television at the age of 23. Yoon Eun-hye was formerly in Baby VOX; she was the last member to join and stayed with the group from 1999 until 2005.

On February 12th, actress Yoon Eun Hye was spotted at the “Hexa by Kuho” 2011 F/W fashion show in New York City.Yoon Eun Hye has always been known to be an avid fan of KUHO’s designs, and was seen paying close attention to every detail in the show.She later commented, “I was surprised at the three dimensional design and all of the details that went into it. I’m proud that a Korean designer has made such a successful advancement into the market, and I’ll continue to support the KUHO’s efforts to become a global brand.”The actress also shared a photo from her street adventures in New York, and amazed fans with her beautiful bare face and casual style.Her visit will be shown through the May edition of “VOGUE,” as well as “Trend Report (Season 6).”

Actresses Yoon Eun Hye and Park Han Byul will be making an appearance on an upcoming episode of tvN’s “Talk ShowTaxi“.On their respective Twitters, Yoon Eun Hye and Park Han Byul announced their future guest appearance on the show, as they wrote, “I’m currently shooting for ‘Taxi’. To those who are curious about anything, please submit questions” and “Currently recording ‘Taxi’ with Yoon Eun Hye! ^^ Please ask us anything you’re curious about~”.The two actresses added pictures along with their messages, which showcases their close friendship with each other. What catches interest is their actress-like big eyes and white, pure skin.The same aged Yoon Eun Hye and Park Han Byul are known to have gotten close after recently filming for their movie, “My Black Mini Dress“.The episode of “Taxi” is set to broadcast this coming February 24th.Source: TV Report via Nate

…may be greatly (or at least slightly) exaggerated. But still, even though the talk is still in the rumor stage, where there’s smoke…If we choose to take the optimistic approach, Yoon Eun-hye may be making her return to television this year, according to reports that she’s considering the project Sweet Scandal, which had previously gone by the title Lie To Me. Sweet Scandal is a romantic-comedy drama planned for a post-Midas broadcast on SBS, and Yoon has been linked to it in the press before. It seems both sides (her management and the drama’s producers) are a little exasperated with the press’s preoccupation with her casting, and the PDs have stated that Yoon’s casting news is premature. Her rep also stated, “She has considered the project, but there has been no decision. Reports that she’s been cast have come out three times now. With the reports coming out every time she’s considering a drama, it makes it difficult to actually consider the drama.”

But it’s tough when you’re Yoon Eun-hye, whose every movement — however minute and/or insignificant — tends to draw huge amounts of attention. She’s also something of a hitmaker in dramaland, even more so than other, bigger, A-list-ier stars (like, say, Sohn Ye-jin or Jung Woo-sung, whose names alone haven’t been able to save sinking drama ships) — I think Yoon manages to hit that perfect sweet spot of big-name recognition, popularity, cross-generational appeal, and likable public persona. Even her lesser series have performed better than average, and her attachment practically has HIT! written over a project. (Goong and Coffee Prince were uber-hits; Vineyard Man was one of the only dramas to survive the Jumong juggernaut; and My Fair Lady still pulled in upper-teen ratings despite being a dismal wreck of writing and acting.)The drama has two noted directors onboard: Kim Soo-ryong of the short melodrama series Father’s House and Kwon Hyuk-chan of this year’s body-swapping melo-fantasy Secret Garden. That would be right up Yoon’s alley, since I think she’s at her best in rom-coms with a few melo moments, rather than, say, straight-up drama like Love Song, the melodrama remake of Comrades that she signed up to do last year, but which has understandably stalled since Park Yong-ha’s suicide last summer.There have also been rumors placing Yoon in contention for KBS’s upcoming Maids, the follow-up from Pasta‘s writer, and MBC’s Discovery of Affection, the Hong Sisters project that also teased a Gong Hyo-jin possibility. Frankly, I’d be happy to see her in any of these dramas. She’s not the most skilled actress out there, but she’s just so darned likable — she puts so much of herself into her roles that what she lacks in technical ability, she makes up for with her big, open, enthusiastic heart. Currently, Yoon Eun-hye is promoting her rom-com movie My Black Minidress, which releases this month.

Actress Yoon Eun Hye confessed that she “worked to death” to rid herself of the label, “singer-turned-actress.”On March 7th, Yoon Eun Hye guested on MBC’s “Come to Play” to promote her comeback to the big screen after a 5-year hiatus. During the show, Yoon Eun Hye chose her leading role in the popular drama “Coffee Prince” as ‘the moment that changed my life’.

During a time when she was obsessed with emerging away from her label as a singer-turned-actress, like fate, Yoon Eun Hye received the scenario for “Coffee Prince.” She recalled, “Because of the criticisms surrounding my acting, I was in a situation where I had to change everything about myself – from head to toe. After reading 3-pages of the ‘Coffee Prince’ scenario, I decided that this was a role that I had to play. The thought that ‘life or death, I have to do this’ came to my mind’.” Yoon Eun Hye received the role of Eun Chan, an extreme tomboy. She revealed, “I put in much effort to make everything I did, from even the way I sit, seem like a guy. My eyebrows are naturally on the pretty-side, so I purposefully applied hair restorer. I wanted my voice to be more masculine, so I kept screaming at the karaoke bar; and whenever I bought new clothes, I purposefully wrinkled them and slept in them.” As Yoon Eun Hye recalled this difficult time, her eyes reddened with tears.She added, “I’m going to keep working hard in all my future projects, but I worry that I won’t fulfill expectations, which makes me that much more cautious and sensitive” – confessing her worries as an actress.Source: Osen via Nate

Different from people's perception of easy going Yoon Eun Hye, she "Doesn't become close with people easily. But people who are close to her, are some of the best in entertainment.

"I'm usually close with the staff members from projects or regular friends outside of entertainment industry." Yoon Eun Hye said that she doesn't easily become close with people, unlike what we had expected from her easy going image. Throughout her long career in the entertainment business, there are only few people that she is close with. So, it took a while before we got her to reveal her connections. "I'm not even good at asking a senior I worked with his/her phone number. It's really hard for me to open up to people." Even so, Yoon Eun Hye said that she was very lucky to have met 3 friends through 'My Black Mini Dress'. Let's take a look at her human relations map. [Reporter Lee Ye Eun, Sports Chosun]

▶Park Han Byul, Yoo In Na, Cha Ye Ryun: Main characters of 'Ma Beul Mi (MBMD)' These are people that Yoon Eun Hye tried hard to become close fast with. The director knew my personality, and had asked me to do him a favor. Since I had to act out close friendships, he asked me to go and try to approach them first to become closer. So I tried and it worked."

Yoon Eun Hye said that she liked the fact each of the three friends have a different charm. Yoon Eun Hye didn't stop to praise her friends, "Byul (Park Han Byul) can be feminine like a princess and cool with guys. These two aspects are her charm. She has lots of guy friends, and is good in bowling and screen golf. Isn't it eccentric? I like the way Ye Ryun has similar thoughts as me. And In Na unnie may be the oldest one, but she's like a baby and can express her girlish charm, something that I'm not good at."

▶ Seo In Young: A friend that the stylists of Baby V.O.X and Jewelry introduced. That unnie introduced us by saying, "You two don't have any friends, so you should become friends (laughing). In Young tells me that I'm like her mom. She listens to me very well. She comes off strong, but she's very caring. And she's honest. She's a close friend who even my mom likes. She's become much more mature these days, haha."

▶Go Joon Hee: Closest younger (who began her career after YEH) friend. “We met when I was young, on a variety show, 'X Man'. I first saw her filming abroad, and she looked so mature, I thought she was older than me. So I would show my respect and asked one day "Did you come alone", in a honorific form. But she was a completely like a baby. We became close as I did her hair and etc."

▶Jadu: “Friend from same agency. She has a comeback coming up. Shall I say, we have a relationship in which we know each other’s schedule all the time. Unnie has lost weight and looks much more feminine these days. She enjoys the fact that people don’t recognize her these days. She will be coming back soon, and I plan to help her with the album jacket.”

▶Son Ye Jin: A Close unnie (older sister) who she respects, and someone who she doesn’t have to be careful in front of. “I met her during a cameo appearance in a project. We get together to hang out or go out to eat whenever we have time.”

▶Joo Ji Hoon, Gong Yoo, Lee Sun Kyun: When asked if she had any close guy friends, she named these people in bunches. She had worked with all of them. “These are guy friends that I really like and keep in touch with frequently. You tend to become close when you do a project together.”

“It’s painful for us all.”That’s what Yoon Eun-hye has to say about the fizzling of her drama project Love Song, which she has officially walked from. It’s not particularly surprising news, given that lead actor Park Yong-ha (Story of a Man, On Air) died shortly after accepting the role last year, leaving the production scrambling to find a replacement.

But it’s too bad nonetheless, as the drama had garnered strong initial interest. Aside from its top star lineup, it had the name recognition from being an adaptation of the famous Hong Kong film Comrades: Almost a Love Story (aka Tian Mi Mi), which starred Leon Lai and Maggie Cheung. There was even interest from Warner Bros. regarding buying the k-drama’s broadcast rights, as well as lots of pan-Asian attention toward the project.After months of trying to secure a new actor and plans for continuing the project, however, production house Verdi Media has made the decision to pull the plug, and has erased all Love Song-related information from its official website. A source with the company confirmed the news, and stated the Verdi is preparing a new drama instead.To her credit, Yoon Eun-hye stuck with the project for the past nine months (she’s rather known for her loyalty to her projects), but finally called it quits. She said, “Everyone feels pained over it. As an actor, though, I felt I couldn’t wait forever.”Yoon also hinted that she’ll be choosing her next drama project soon, stating that she’s been looking at many synopses and is preparing for her television comeback. “I think I’ll be able to greet you all [in a drama] in May or June.”We can hope. Frankly, I’m okay with Love Song being cancelled, since there would always have been that pall hanging over it after Park Yong-ha’s death. And while I normally don’t have a problem watching projects with deceased actors (I like to separate the drama from reality, as a rule, and can watch something like Last Scandal without fixating on the sad life of Choi Jin-shil), this is a project that would have been inextricably tied to that horrible news from the very beginning and throughout its every turn, and I still feel way too sad about Park’s passing to be eager to watch it.

A press preview and a press conference of a movie ‘My black mini dress’(Directed by Huh In Moo / Tori Pictures) starring Yoon Eun Hye, Park Han Byul, Yoo In Na, and Cha Ye Ryeon was held at Lotte Cinema at 1 pm on March 14th.Actresses Yoon Eun Hye, Park Han Byul, and Cha Ye Ryeon attended at the conference and preview. Yoo In Na was absent.‘My black mini dress’ was based on a novel of the same name by a writer Kim Min Suh whose novel was nominated at the World Literature Award. It depicts stories of women in their twenties who like to wear in black mini dresses, You Min(Yoon Eun Hye), Hye Ji(Park Han Byul), Soo Jin(Cha Ye Ryeon), and Min Hee(Yoo In Na), in straightforward and stylish ways.‘My black mini dress’ will have its premiere on March 24th.

Director Huh In Moo, who produced “Love, So Divine” (2004) and “Herb” (2007), has come out with a new movie “My Black Mini Dress.” Actresses Yoon Eun Hye, Park Han Byul, and Cha Ye Ryun and Director Huh attended the press conference, and each showed a strong attraction to the movie. Yoo In Na was unable to attend for personal reasons. Below are the questions and answers from the press conference.

Question and Answers:

[b]What kind of movie is “My Black Mini Dress?”

Yoon Eun Hye: While the movie shows all the glitzes and glamour, the story is actually one about friendship. It’s a story that will warm people’s hearts.

The four best friends start growing apart as Hye Ji (Park Han Byul), an aspiring model, shoots her first commercial. You’ve all debuted at an early age; do you have any similar experiences?

Yoon Eun Hye: Debuting at an early age is enough to win you jealous stares from your friends. However, I believe I handled the situation well. Friendship never changes. I talk to my friends often about everything to avoid any misunderstandings between us.

The four of you collaborated for the original soundtrack. Since Yoon Eun Hye is a former singer, how would you rate the other three’s singing skills?

Yoon Eun Hye: Haha, I don’t know what to say...I wasn’t a very good singer during my days as Baby V.O.X. Yoo In Na has always been a great singer, and Park Han Byul has her unique cute way of singing well. Cha Ye Ryun surprised me with her voice. Other than that, I think we’re all in the same boat.

Yoon Eun Hye has stated that out of all the characters she’s played, her Yoo Min character resembles her the most. How much does your characters in “My Black Mini Dress” resemble each one of you?

Yoon Eun Hye: Out of all the characters I’ve played, Yoo Min does resemble the real me most. It’s a side of me that only close friends know. I’ve always had a little shortcoming when it came to my acting, but it was a lot easier to express Yoo Min because she’s so similar to me.In my opinion, I think Park Han Byul matches well with her character. In the past, she’s done characters that were quiet and innocent; but she’s actually very cool and laid-back, a lot like her Hye Ji character. Cha Ye Ryun is a lot like her character Soo Jin because they while they both seem strong on the outside, they are actually very tender and frail inside.

The movie seems like a 2010 version of “Take Care of My Cat,” and many are associating it to “Gossip Girl.”

Yoon Eun Hye: One of the main reasons for taking this movie was the fact that I may no longer get the opportunity to express a twenty-four year old girl’s troubles. I’ve seen “Take Care of My Cat” back in the day, and I recently re-watched it and found myself reminiscing about my youth and the feelings I had then. I hope “My Black Mini Dress” touches someone else like that in ten years.

It must have been fun on set because you are all of similar age. Do you have any memorable episodes you can tell us about?

Yoon Eun Hye: We all like eating, so we would be eating constantly. It got to the point where Director Han had to ask us to concentrate on the shoot. (laughs)

All of you are in your mid-twenties. What do you think defines twenties?

Yoon Euh Hye: Just like in the movie, I don’t think anything is easy when you’re in your twenties. It’s just a stepping stone to maturing into a thirty-year-old. You go though many pain and sufferings over and over again until you can look back and not be affected by them any longer.
